I've been using libkvm to do some stuff recently and I think I may have found
a fairly large memory leak.

On calling kvm_getarvgs the memory allocated for the args doesn't seem to get
freed. Looking at the code and the man pages it is ment to be freed up on
kvm_close. This does indeed free kd->argv but doesn't free either kd->argspc
or kd->argbuf which are also allocated by kvm_argv.
